About Brennan M. Cox
Faith. Jesus Christ died on a cross for my sins and rose from the dead three days later. Each Sunday, my wife, Catharine Louise Cox, and I attend church. And each Sunday, we practice the Sabbath, when we only rest and worship.
Family. August 1, 2024, I proposed to Catharine on the tee of “Point Garry,” the first hole of the West Links in North Berwick, Scotland. We later wed in Newnan, Georgia among family and friends.
She, born and raised in Newnan, is the daughter of John and Julie Williams. Her brother is Addison Williams.
I, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, am the son of David and Page Cox. My sister is Hollis Cox.
Friends. My deepest friendships are those maintained on a golf course or in a dining room. Tee times and reservations, in other words, are my love language.
Work. In law, I clerk for The Honorable Steve C. Jones, a U.S. Senior Judge for the Northern District of Georgia. After this clerkship, Catharine and I will move to New York, where I will practice corporate law with King & Spalding LLP.
In hospitality, I serve as president of Things in General, LLC, which is developing Oak Steakhouse and 1892, a private club, in Athens, Georgia. The Indigo Road Hospitality Group will cook the steaks and make the cocktails.
In golf, I have worked as a caddie at three courses. First, Peachtree Golf Club for two years. Second, Muirfield, home to the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, for six weeks. And third, the Old Course at St Andrews for one round—when my father played.
And in school, I spent seven years at the University of Georgia. There, I earned a J.D., magna cum laude, from the School of Law, joining its Order of the Coif and Georgia Law Review. I also earned a B.B.A. in Finance, summa cum laude, with Highest Honors, as a First Honor Graduate. During the summer of 2018, I spent a term at the University of Oxford.
During law school, I served as the president of Gridiron and as the Student Athletic Representative on the UGA Athletic Association Board of Directors. And during undergrad, I joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon and served as president of the Interfraternity Council. My peers elected me to Sphinx, Gridiron, Greek Horsemen, Blue Key, Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, and the Student Managed Investment Fund.
I graduated from Lakeside High School, where I completed a service project to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
